Concerns are growing as Russia’s president Vladimir Putin pledged nuclear retaliation against the West, if they intervene in the war events in Ukraine

“We have all the weapons to do so, weapons that no other nation has and we will use them,” says the president.

He vows the initiation of an immediate reaction to any country that decides to get involved in the events taking place in its neighbouring country of Ukraine.

“They must realise that our response to their attacks will be swift,” says Putin.

The president refers to the war as Russia’s ‘special operation’ and says that they will not hesitate to attack if anyone tries to meddle with their affairs in Ukraine.

Last week, Russia released footage of a successful test launch of one of the most destructive missiles in the world, the RS-28 Sarmat ICBM – known in the West as Satan 2.

Putin calls it the “best in the world” and says the launch of the intercontinental ballistic missile would make those who threaten his country think twice.

The rocket has been under development for years and its test-launch was not a surprise for the West.

Russia’s nuclear forces will start taking delivery of the new missile “in the autumn of this year” once testing is complete.

Kremlin blocks WhatsApp, urging citizens to use state-backed MAX; critics warn of surveillance, prompting protests in Moscow.

The Kremlin has officially blocked WhatsApp, urging Russians to switch to MAX, a state-backed messaging app. This move comes after Meta refused to comply with local regulations, sparking debates over digital freedom in the country.

Critics warn that MAX could be used for government surveillance, though authorities deny these claims. The ban highlights Russia’s growing control over foreign tech platforms and its push for locally regulated alternatives.

Activists in Moscow have staged protests calling for an open and unregulated internet, while the public reacts with a mix of concern and resignation.

US covertly sent 6,000 Starlink terminals to Iran amid protests, aiding internet access despite government shutdowns and crackdown violence.

U.S. officials report that the Trump administration covertly sent around 6,000 Starlink satellite internet terminals into Iran following widespread protests. The move was designed to bypass strict internet blackouts imposed by authorities in Tehran.

The terminals reportedly enabled activists and dissidents to reconnect with the outside world during periods of severe digital restriction, raising fresh questions about foreign involvement and cyber strategy.

As geopolitical tensions simmer, the revelation underscores how connectivity has become a powerful tool in modern conflict.
